Anderson Cooper impressed me here. I write enough about times when the media comes up short, here Cooper drops the whole objective observer role and helps out a young man in trouble. Good for him.

Amen. Always great to see God's grace at work even in small miracles like this one. I may not agree with Cooper's politics most of the time, but I have to give him a lot of credit for his compassion, which is genuine.

Dear Sir,
Magnificent, it's great to see compassion at work and wonderful to see someone abandon his "professional standards" to do what is simply the right thing to do.
Thank you for sharing this.
shalom,
Steven

I have always liked Anderson Cooper, not because of his political or personal views, but because he seems like a real human being. Here he proves what I suspected all along. He's not just a professional journalist. He's a man who takes a genuine interest in the lives of others. May God bless Anderson and lead him, finally, to His Son.

Last night Anderson reported on an orphanage and school where all 5 nuns and almost 100 children perished. He ended the report by showing a chalkboard where a sister or teacher had written, "May God receive them with open arms." At the end of the report, Anderson repeated this phrase. He may profess to be a skeptic, but the sincerity on his face and in his voice said something quite different. It brought me to tears. Politics, lifestyle etc. aside, I think he must be a very genuine and compassionate person.

I think the sheer scale of the devestation and suffering in Haiti has moved even the biggest of celebrity journos out of their usual detachment. I saw Katie Couric (celeb journo one) on the Charlie Rose Show (celeb journo two) and I could hear the catch in her voice as she described what she had seen and heard. She held a boy's hands to comfort him while his broken bones were being set without anaesthetic. It would take someone with a heart of stone to be unmoved by such a thing.
